Edit Client Backup Configuration

How to get here in the GigaVaultStorage Web Console?
  In the top menu, select: "Server Admin->Customer Management" and click on the "Customer Name" link in the left hand side tree. Click on the "Edit Configuration" icon in the action column of this client row.

This page is used to configure backup space and backup locations for GigaVaultStorage clients backing up on to this server.

The table on the right (titled: Server Disk Space Utilization) shows information about the the disk space in each disk partition in the server.

The table on the left (titled: Backup Space Configuration for Clients) gives the various options for client backup settings, some of which are configurable:

Server Name - A non-editable field displaying the name of this GigaVaultStorage server.

Customer Name - A non-editable field displaying the name of Customer under which this client belongs.

Client Name - A non-editable field displaying the GigaVaultStorage ID of this Client

Backup Location - This is the location where backups from the client will be stored. If the client has already backed up to the server and if the backup location is changed, then there is an option to move the existing backups to the new location.

If the user opts 'Yes' for ' Move available backups for this client ', then all the existing backup data will be move to the new backup location. Data from all backup schedules from the client will hereafter be stored in new backup location.

If the user opts ‘No’ for ' Move available backups for this client ' option, then data from new backup schedules in the client will be stored in the new location. The existing backup data will remain in the old location and data from the existing backup schedules (full or incremental) will continue to be stored in the old location

Space Allotted - This field can be edited to modify the backup space allotted for this client. The space allotted can be given either in MB, GB or TB. By default, the total backup space configured to the customer will be used on a “first come, first served” basis with any new clients backing up to this server.

Used Space - A non-editable field displaying the used backup space for the selected client.

Free Space - A non-editable field displaying the free space available for the selected client.

Password - If you do not want to change the password, leave this field blank. If you change the password, then you need to send the new password to the user of this GigaVaultStorage client and she in turn should change the password in the client and authorize the client once with the server.

Save Button - After configuring the options specified above, click on the Save button to save the configuration for the selected client.

Note:

When a client uses up all the backup space allotted for the client, the server will not allow the client to backup thereafter. The client’s backups will be aborted and GigaVaultStorage will generate an event indicating the space issue. Backup can proceed only after the client is allotted more space on the server.

If backup/restore/replication/delete is active for a client, GigaVaultStorage gives the following error message: ‘Backup, restore, replication or deletion is in progress for the client whose data you are trying to move. Please make sure it is completed before you try moving the data’.
